Quote from: red_philAlso being cheap I could reuse the old chain

Quote from: red_philI have heard of folk loosing feet to snapped chains, and it is quite common for a snapped chain to lock up the rear wheel. That would have been fun at 70.

Good reason to get a new chain, IMO... glad you're OK!

After a chain has hit the ground at that speed it will have ground down some areas, leaving overhanging burrs that could drastically affect chain and sprocket wear. Best to be safe, and I'm glad you're okay.

My chain on my CBR snapped as well. My friend riding behind me got hit with pieces of it. It destroyed my undertail, broke my passenger peg, and cracked my engine case and gave me one hell of a bruised leg and ego. You came out lucky... Glad to hear your alright
